Hi Adam,
Welcome to planDisney! I am delighted to see you stopping by with a terrific question!
I am not quite sure what you mean by linking your tickets with the
Park Hopper® Option to existing tickets. As long as you have all of your tickets linked in your
My Disney Experience account, you should be good to go! If you have not yet created a My Disney Experience account, go ahead and create one. Once you have created that account, log back in and click on My Plans. From there, click on Add More Plans and then select
Link Reservations and Purchases.
If you are using the
My Disney Experience Mobile App, click on the three bars at the bottom of the home screen and then click on Tickets and Passes. From there, click on the plus sign at the top of the screen and you should see an option to Link Tickets & Passes. Once you get those tickets linked, remember to assign them to the appropriate people traveling with you.
Looking at your arrival date, I am excited to see that you will arrive just before
The World's Most Magical Celebration! Given that I suspect the crowds will be quite busy, be sure that you have
Disney Park Pass system and
advanced dining reservations. Recently, we just took a quick trip that I had not planned in advance and were able to make a few dining reservations before arrival. I was happy to have those reservations because there were two instances of families approaching Cast Members at a restaurant and the Cast Members had to share that there was no availability or the wait would have been hours for a table.
Adam, on every trip, we dine at a few favorite restaurants and a few new ones. Doing so gives us something to look forward to on each trip. Now that our girls are older, we also have them participating in the planning more often. Happy planning to you!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
